Ubuntu 16.04 – PhpStorm – configure xdebug with PHP 7.0

Today I spent a couple of hours to figure out that ONLY the following configuration works. It is not covered in any video/tutorial.

This is the settings that MUST be added to all the files:

[xDebug] zend_extension=/usr/lib/php/20160303/xdebug.so
xdebug.default_enable=1
xdebug.idekey=PHPSTORM
xdebug.remote_port=9000
xdebug.remote_enable=1
xdebug.remote_handler=dbgp
xdebug.remote_autostart = on
xdebug.remote_start = on
xdebug.profiler_enable=1
xdebug.profiler_output_dir=/dev/null
xdebug.remote_host=localhost

 

 

The files are :

/etc/php/7.0/apache2/php.ini
/etc/php/7.0/phpdbg/php.ini
/etc/php/7.0/cli/php.ini

MySql change part of the field or column

If you have a table with column that contains eg file names with extension and want to replace the extension of all those file names.

Eg we have a table named menu with column icon. The icon column contains image file names with extension .png eg dress.png , shoes.png and we want to replace only .png by .svg leaving the filename (without extension) intact. we can use the following command in SQL:

UPDATE menus SET icon = replace(icon, RIGHT(icon, 3), ‘svg’)
WHERE id > 0 AND icon <> ”;
